Procedure for filling a rebuilt columbia axle

[Kurt in NJ]

The internal planetary gears get lubed only by the oil slung off the rotating assembly ,guided by ridges, baffles into the planet gearcase this is the reason for running it no load when first installed and rechecking, once it has been run and filled it won’t drain during a oil change unless it has been modified somehow
